Ryan O'Neal stars as THE DRIVER, a conniving and talented getaway driver, and Bruce Dern as the corrupt police detective obsessed with capturing him. With breathtaking car chases and a terrific climax, this is a simple and thrilling cat and mouse game. The two single-minded characters, with otherwise bleak lives, must perpetually out-smart the other in this lean, clever and compelling thriller. (official distributor synopsis)

As soon as the car door closes and the footsteps on the gas, it comes very close to getting the full five stars. However, as soon as they put the cars in the garage and the movie begins playing at a silent, “who can piss further" crime movie about a clash between two macho guys, so it is painfully obvious that they should have cast someone completely different from the O'Neal/Dern duo. A strong, silent type for whom the taciturn role would have seemed natural and not just like they forgot their lines.
